Your wish was my command Lady.
And as BQ really wanted such an event too, I just extended my schedule.
(getting used to it and likin' it)
Still need some assistance from (a) local member(s) as soon as a venue is decided upon._________________

There is also a film festival in Charlottesville, VA every year, but I've never been and don't really know the time frame.

OK I'll take a look at that too BQ.
Furthermore I can tell you all that during the Krakow-festival we came in contact with the organisers of the Tenerife Film Music -festival (Fimucité)
Caliburn and me will go there end of june and discuss with Anna, their PR-manager on SST becoming full mediapartner of the festival.
Sirius will add it to the Meet & Greet worldtour list
as the 4th European Gathering.

I also talked to Jonathan Neely, director of the Music Department of Walt Disney Company and we agreed to get in contact to see if one of their composers can be guest of honour on the EaSST coast gathering. (We were discussing Alan Menken for that, but then the gathering should be somewhere in the neighborhood of New Rochelle,NY)_________________

I also would like to point Out that there is a radio station called Klassik Radio in Germany, that has been touring through Germany with film music for quite some time now. I have attended 4 or so in the last 3 years. They are planning a new tour for 2012 and that could be a nice venue to have a meet & greet for the German fans...
The Klassik Radip Pops Orchestra is really good and the conductor is Nic Raine - quite funny guy actually._________________"If it is just us... seems like an awful waste of space." - Ted Arroway (Contact)

I know that too Leina, I've been to the concerts twice myself. Once in Munich and once in Frankfurt.
Great chance that our German meeting will be connected with one of this concerts.
More concerts you can find on SSt-member Filmflip's website: http://www.moviesinconcert.nl

And when such a concert is in the neighborhood of
Berlin let me know if you want me to go there with you._________________

Gatherings in Germany, and near Berlin in particular, sound good to me. And with recent approval of my USA visa application I think I can start thinking about joining U.S. EaSST Coast Gathering next year too!_________________<i>"The piano keys are black and white,

My fellow musketeer has been affected by the same virus as I've been.

Would be something to have you there as well.
And as far as ideas develop Xalira might be there as well if things work out the way I planned.

But first give Tonks a BIG hug for comforting from me, please_________________

very funny Dutchbat
